IEEE134 Port (on selected models)
6
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked "DV" for Digital Video port.
TV-Out Port (on selected models)
7
The TV-Out port is an S-Video connector that allows routing the Notebook PC's display
to a television or video projection device. You can choose between simultaneously or
single display. Use an S-Video cable (not provided) for high quality displays or use the
provided RCA to S-Video adapter for standard video devices. This port supports both
NTSC and PAL formats.
HDMI Port (on selected models)
8
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/
video interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television
(DTV). Supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-
channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.
Display (Monitor) Output
9
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor
or projector to allow viewing on a larger external display.
Modem Port
10
The RJ-11 modem port with two pins is smaller than the RJ-45 LAN port and supports
a standard telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K V.90 transfers. The
built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.
IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital
phone systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or
else damage will occur to the Notebook PC.
LAN Port
11
The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and supports a
standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in connector allows
convenient use without additional adapters.
